S1. Source editor’s annotation The Mˡ Régnault de Saint-Jean d’Angély.
T56. The two personifications and contrasted predicates remain inside the quotation. Its source comma is retained before the closing quotation. The coded attribution R—d. S. j. d’An stays opaque and keeps its punctuation and lowercase j ; the source call belongs after its closing parenthesis, before is. The editor’s separate note gives a longer name without supplying a secure expansion of its qualified title abbreviation. Greek describes the phrase without claiming a Greek-language original or an identified ancient author. The doubled b in French abbandonnés is not imitated in English.
T64. Beaunier’s separate note supplies the longer name for the coded attribution. The qualified Mˡ is retained without expansion: its small raised glyph does not securely establish a title, rank, or numeral. The translates Le ; the name and acute accents remain as printed. The source call is attached to the parenthetic attribution in the main paragraph, not to its quotation or date.
T379. The native quotation has abbandonnés with two b and a comma before its closing quotation, not a silently substituted terminal period. The final acute-like mark is small and abraded but supports the qualified accented reading. Phraze retains z . The opaque parenthetic attribution reads R—d. S. j. d’An , with lower-case j and no added period after An . Its source call 1 follows the close parenthesis and precedes est . The separate editor’s expansion is not inserted into the main paragraph.
T380. The single roman apparatus paragraph supplies the printed expanded surname and names, with acute accents in Régnault and Angély . Its main call is after the parenthetic code, not in the quotation or date. After Le , capital M is followed by a smaller undotted elevated l -shaped glyph. Mˡ is a qualified diplomatic approximation; no rank, title expansion, or numeral identity is inferred. Independent native comparison agrees with the elevated undotted l -shaped approximation and the main quotation’s final comma; the glyph’s title or numeral identity remains unresolved.
T57. The nominal fragment and leading dash remain. Consent is not silently expanded into compliance, enthusiasm or approval of a named act.
T381. The lower-case nominal fragment and opening dash remain. The following dated entry is separate even without an intervening asterisk.
T58. The possibility, deceptive means and truth/error/illusion paradox remain. The addressed example is not converted into a general endorsement of deception.
T382. The two coordinated infinitives under peut and the contrast between just ideas and misleading methods remain. The final plural imperative is intact. The right-edge endings of des and illusion are abraded but identifiable, without a supplied missing word.
T59. The named fragment, only restriction, dear and absolutely retain the polemical tone. Both deceive-himself formulations and unceasingly remain; no biographical or philosophical verdict is independently asserted. Has made preserves the completed creation of the method beside the continuing deceives himself.
T60. Both opening prohibitions, two when clauses, the higher-causes exception and heaven/earth movement remain. The repeated confine and causes-of-causes relation are not reduced to a single principle. Spirits preserves esprits beside spiritual; a purely mental reading remains possible in context. The restriction to evident causes and final conditional warning remain. No modern causal model or specific historical accusation is supplied.
T384. Événemens retains its printed ending without a t . The complete long paragraph remains one unit. Its two initial negative alternatives, à moins exception, heaven/earth contrast, two Mais clauses, repeated causes and movement terms, and final restriction/conditional consequence remain in printed order. Celles là is spaced rather than hyphenated. The right-edge words and wrapped syllables retain their recognizable structures, including invisibles , reposer , vient , borner , les , premier , mouvement and et . No additional lexical loss is certified from adjacent isolated edge artifacts.
T61. The nominal opening, first-person remark and universal claim remain. Stick preserves the ordinary physical object; no precise Homeric passage is identified. The conventional English capital Homer corresponds to lower-case homère in the French.
T385. Authorité retains its extra h and homère its lower-case initial. The initial nominal phrase and following first-person remark remain distinct sentences. The repetition of sceptre , colon and in-origin qualification are not expanded.
T62. The dependent That and substantivized the little remain, without an added main clause or a settled reference to quantities or small objects.
T386. The initial Que formulation and terminal period remain, without a supplied main clause or exclamation. The date is a directly legible 21 February.
T63. The little/too-much contrast, three repeated nothing judgments and three with phrases remain. The final with qualifications govern how youth esteems, loves and wants, not an absolute inability to do these things. The participial description is contextually attached to youth; feminine agreement alone would not distinguish youth from old age. The printed February 20 follows February 21 and must not be reordered.
T387. The backward date 20 February follows the printed 21 and is not reordered or corrected. Inhabituée retains its feminine singular form. The three negative participial formulations and all three avec relations remain. No speculative reason for the date sequence is supplied.
T65. The wish, prohibition and repeated concern remain. The French repeats se soucier after a comma without a conjunction. English or coordinates the two concerns under the existing negative; it does not claim a recovered French connector or a visible source loss.
T388. The two se soucier formulations follow the printed comma without a supplied conjunction. Before the second se the margin is displaced but shows no certified lexical remnant; neither ni nor a speculative missing word is inserted solely from syntax.
T66. The named fragment and temporal sequence remain. Stops preserves arrête ’s possible cessation or fixing of judgment without choosing a biographical interpretation.
T389. The day survives only as detached thin strokes; no numerical day is certified. M. Clauzel remains as printed without expanding the title or identifying the person. The two tenses and the repeated mental-image/judgment relation remain.
T67. The distinction between a work’s received originality and its quality as translation remains. [Whose] and [hundred] contextually render dont and cent from the two damaged […]nt openings; whole English words are bracketed, without restoring French letters. One likes to quote is not replaced by an independently verified reception history; the numerical comparison is Joubert’s.
T390. The left-edge losses leave nt in both damaged words; the partial contour before the first nt does not certify a complete o , and the earlier components of either word are not supplied. Amyot has y here, unlike the later Amiot . The two distinct translation judgments and their comparison remain.
S1. Source editor’s annotation This comes from an undated leaf. I introduce it here on the strength of Amyot, whose translation Joubert is reading. (And if I am mistaken, that is of no great consequence here.)
T68. This and the pluperfect remain. Graces keeps the classical personification without an expanded mythological explanation. The source editor’s uncertain placement of an undated leaf belongs to separate apparatus, not a newly certain entry date.
T80. The first-person placement and its explicit uncertainty belong to Beaunier. Amyot provides the editor’s reason for insertion, not a recovered date on the leaf. The parenthetic admission of possible error remains; neighboring entries must not inherit a certified date from this apparatus. The surviving partial bracketed date is editorial placement, not a certified date on the leaf. The source call follows the final closing bracket of that heading, distinct from the bracket ending the earlier loss marker.
T391. The terminal 6, month, period and printed closing square bracket remain. The damaged opening does not establish an opening bracket or a preceding day digit, so neither is restored. The source note expressly says the leaf is undated and inserted here by its editor; this partial bracketed date is not a secure composition day. The raised call 1 follows the closing date bracket and belongs to the date heading. Lower-case grâces and the tense remain; no mythological capitalization or source identity is added.
T392. This one roman apparatus paragraph explicitly states the leaf is undated, explains its placement, and retains the editor’s first-person parenthetic reservation. It does not certify a recovered composition date. The call belongs after the date’s closing bracket. Amyot is spelled with y in the note. The abraded first letters of d’Amyot and cela retain their forms; isolated margin traces do not establish additional missing words.
